Zhechong Duweifu is the grass-roots organization unit of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, also known as the military government.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was called Yingyang Mansion, but in the tenth year of Tang Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er felt that the word Yingyang was not very lucky.

Chong, that is, rushing the car, is one of the types of chariots. Folding, literally, can be understood as: to make the enemy's chariot retreat.

However, there is only one reason to make the enemy's chariot retreat, and that is to crush the enemy. Therefore, the folding rush has the meaning of resisting, repelling, and defeating the enemy.

His Majesty Li Er felt that the two words "Folding Chong" were too auspicious, too powerful, and too imposing!

Therefore, the Yingyang Mansion, which was used in the former Sui Dynasty for ten years in Zhenguan, was changed to Zhechong Mansion. The governor of the Ochichong Prefecture is called the Orichong Governor, so it is also called the Ochichong Governor's Mansion.

Zhechong Mansion is distributed all over the Tang Dynasty, and it is abolished at any time, and the number of military governments in the country increases and decreases constantly, and there are 633 mansions in more times.

There are 633 mansions in all parts of the Tang Dynasty, which are under the 12 Wei and the 6 rates of the East Palace (that is, the 16 Wei).

This is the Wei government system of the Tang Dynasty.

The system of guarding the government is to unify the "government" with "guard". "Wei" is not only the forbidden army of the garrison division, but also the leading body that commands the "government soldiers" in the world.

The Tang Dynasty's "Sixteen Guards" (that is, the Twelve Guards and the Six Rates of the East Palace) led the world's 633 Zhichong Mansion (Military Mansion), which was in the middle of the imperial palace and the garrison of the Beijing Division, which was the unity of the government soldiers and the forbidden army.

However, what is commendable is that the 16th General Wei only has a "remote command" over the military government of the world, and does not have real wartime command. In wartime, the emperor temporarily appointed the generalissimo of the march as the supreme commander.

In this case, the Zhichong Prefecture, the local governors, the Sixteen Guards, and the generalissimo of the march checked each other, and no one could control the army alone. In this way, although the garrisons of the Tianxia government are scattered, it is still the central army that the emperor can directly control!

Every year, the Zhichong Mansions from all over the world will go to Chang'an and take on the task of guarding Chang'an in their guards.

If the government soldiers are transferred to the defense, the imperial court must issue a bronze fish charm and an edict, which will be investigated by the governor of the state and the governor of Zhichong, and the fish charm and the edict can be combined before they can be sent to leave the military station. This fish charm and edict are also known as fish books in history!

If there is an order from above, it is necessary to send the entire government soldiers to Chang'an for rotation, it must be led by the commander of Zhichong. If only a part of the government soldiers are transferred to Chang'an, then the left and right deputies of the Zhichong Commander, that is, the Zuo Guoyi Commander and the Right Guoyi Commander, can lead the troops to Chang'an on duty.

In addition to the rotation of Chang'an, the more important task is to maintain the stability, prosperity and social stability of the state capital.

Unlike the regimental training army that Cui Geng saw at the beginning, Zhechong Mansion could reserve war horses, tents, and weapons such as slugs, armor, crossbows, and stalks, and ration soldiers during the expedition. Although it is said that the government soldiers need to provide their own military supplies, clothing, light weapons and rations. However, often the procurement costs of these equipment and military rations are provided by the yamen of the state capital where the Zhichong Mansion is located, and the imperial court will also allocate four hectares of land and 100,000 to 200,000 yuan of public money to the Zhichong Mansion every year, which will be handled by the Zhichong Mansion itself, or used to reward the meritorious soldiers, or used to compensate the soldiers who died in battle, or let them operate and invest on their own to make profits.

These treatments are not comparable to those of mere regimental training.

Normally, a state capital will be stationed in a Zhichong Prefecture, and then according to the size of the state capital's jurisdiction, as well as the geographical location of the state capital, as well as the household registration and economic prosperity of the state capital, the Zhichong Prefecture is divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

There are 1,200 people in the upper house, 1,000 people in the middle government, and 800 people in the lower government. Each prefecture has one lieutenant, one lieutenant on the left and right, one lieutenant on the left and right, and one captain for Changshi and Bing Cao to join the army, which is an organization at the provincial level. below the prefecture, 300 people are in the regiment, and the regiment has a lieutenant and a brigade commander; Fifty people are a team, with a team leader and a deputy; Ten people are fire, and some have a fire chief.

In the same way, the rank of officials in the upper, middle and lower levels of the Zhechong Mansion is also different.

The Zhichong Lieutenant of the Superior Zhichong Mansion has a rank of four grades, and the left and right Guoyi Captains are all rank from the fifth grade, and even the long history is a positive six grade.

And the lieutenant of the inferior Zhichong Mansion has a positive rank of five grades, and the history of the head of a mansion is only seven grades.

……

However, Cui Geng seemed to remember that Quanzhou Mansion seemed to already have a Zhichong Governor's Mansion, and it was stationed in the area of Quanzhou Port, and its main task was to maintain the safety of business travelers from the south to the north of Quanzhou Port and from overseas to Tang.

Because Quanzhou Port was one of the most prosperous areas of the Tang Empire, there were no less than 1,000 ships entering and leaving the port every day, which was a major tax source for Quanzhou Prefecture and even the entire Fujian Prefecture.

However, there is already a Zhichong Mansion, so why should another Zhichong Mansion be added after the merger of Putian County and Qingyuan County?

So what level does this Zhechong Mansion belong to? The Zhichong Mansion stationed in the area of Quanzhou Port is only an inferior Zhichong Mansion, so how many are their county-level Zhichong Mansion? Is it directly ordered by the Quanzhou Mansion? Or is it each in charge of one of the sixteen guards?

For some reason, Cui Geng felt that this newly established Zhechong Mansion was somewhat child's play.

After he slowly reacted, Liu Youqiu, the commander of Putian County, had already left with Song Lian, and only Cui Geng and Chen Ziang were left in the tent.

Chen Ziang saw Cui Geng's dazed look, and couldn't help but tease: "You Cui Erlang, you have been promoted, how can you still be so wilted?" ”

Immediately, Cui Geng told Chen Ziang the doubts in his heart.

After hearing this, Chen Ziang shook his head and smiled: "It seems that you were absent-minded just now and didn't hear Song Changshi's later words." ”

Shame~

Indeed, after Cui Geng heard his appointment just now, he instantly wandered out of the world, and as for what Song Lian said later, he didn't hear a word.

I only heard Chen Ziang say: "Song Changshi said, in recent years, there have been many maritime merchants, and more and more Fanbang have come to my Tang Dynasty to do business, and Quanzhou Port can no longer meet the needs of more overseas business travelers to berth ashore." Therefore, the Quanzhou port should be expanded, and the imperial court ordered the Quanzhou government to build several large and small ports around it in the shortest possible time, and then connect them together. At that time, Quanzhou Port will become the first port in Datang, no, it may be the world's largest port. By then—"

As he spoke, Chen Ziang's face couldn't help but rise with pride, and he craned his neck proudly and said, "At that time, Quanzhou Port will become the most prosperous place for trade and trade in the Tang Dynasty." Considering that Quanzhou Zhichong Governor's Mansion is currently unable to divide ~ the difficulty of taking care of his time, in addition to joining forces to clear the two counties of Qingyuan and Putian, he also specially added a Zhichong Mansion in the two counties to specifically defend the land of the two counties. As for who you just mentioned to be ordained, haha, since you opened the mansion alone, it is naturally under the order of the Sixteen Guards. Congratulations, Lieutenant Cui, oh no, Cui Changshi, are you really Ji Tailai this time, and you were accidentally promoted to Xuanyi Lang from the seventh grade, and the clerk is in charge of the documents of a huge military government and the long history of soldiers, horses, grains and grass! Congratulations! ”

Cui Geng scratched his head, he knew what Governor Shi was doing. In addition to playing the role of the chief steward in charge of the soldiers' horses, food, grass and salary, he also has to play the role of the chief of the office of the military governor Zhi Chongdu, and help him deal with some official documents.

The former is better, it is not a big problem for Cui Geng, after all, he is a businessman, and he is good at dealing with money.

The difficulty lies in the latter, with his dog-crawling words, can he really handle official letters and documents for Lord Zhichong?

In an instant, he decided that on the first day of his tenure, he had to recruit two clerks and clerks to do the clerical work that he was not good at.

Facing Chen Ziang's sincere Daoxi, Cui Geng humbly replied with two sentences of "temporary luck", and then asked: "By the way, Chen Xiancheng, did Lord Changshi say just now that this new Zhichong Governor's Mansion in the new county is counted?" ”

"How wait?"

The corners of Chen Ziang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "The Zhichong Governor's Mansion stationed in Quanzhou Port is also inferior, how much do you want?" Lord Changshi said, your newly established Zhichong Mansion does not have to wait, and a regiment will be temporarily formed, and the whole regiment will have a full strength of 300 people, stationed in the territory of the two counties, which is enough! ”

"What? Only 300 people? That's not even a low-class military house! Cui Geng was disappointed.

Chen Ziang said with a smile: "Be content, three hundred guards are stationed in the territory of the two counties, which is enough to deter the remnants of the bandits, okay?" In addition to the full regiment of 300 people, your Zhechong Mansion is also equipped with a Zhichong Commander, a Changshi person, a brigade commander, a number of team leaders and fire commanders, and a special military government station, which is in Qingyuan County. Three hundred palace guards, with such a neat configuration, it can be seen that Feng Tingshi still values you very much! ”

When Cui Geng heard this, he asked with some surprise: "Zhichong Mansion, shouldn't there be a left and right Guoyi Captain?" In this case, if Captain Zhichong is not there, there will still be someone to lead the troops! ”

"What do you think? A regiment of 300 people, with a brigade commander, a team leader and a number of fire commanders, what do you want to do with Captain Guo Yi? ”

Chen Ziang stared at Cui Geng amusedly, and said, "Even if Lieutenant Zhichong is really absent, isn't there still a brigade commander to lead the troops?" Isn't there a history of you as the military governor in other things? ”

"I'll go~~"

Cui Geng couldn't help muttering when he heard this: "How do you listen, our Zhechong Mansion feels like a bit of a miscellaneous army?" ”

"As for your immediate boss, you know it too!" Chen Ziang said again.

Cui Geng had almost guessed it in his heart, pointed his finger outside the tent, and asked, "Wouldn't it be the cold kid outside, Guo Ke?" ”

"Don't be rude, you have to call him Lord Captain!" Chen Ziang glared at Cui Geng.

Cui Geng pursed his lips and said, "He's a Captain of Zhichong is also a parallel import, and he can't even reach the Captain of the inferior military government." ”

Chen Ziang corrected: "That's also a genuine Lieutenant Chong!" Besides, my Tang Dynasty military and political government are separated, and the Zhechong Mansion opens the mansion on its own, this top boss of yours doesn't look young, but now he is already the captain of Zhaowu in the sixth grade. He is in charge of a place in Zhichong Mansion, and he is on an equal footing with Lord Liu, who has just been promoted to the county magistrate of Xinxian County. Even when the official sees him, he has to exclaim—Lord Duwei! ”

Cui Geng was stunned for a moment, and said: "I didn't expect this kid to be promoted like riding a rocket, so fast!" A few days ago, he was the captain of the eighth grade. Grandma's, there must be someone in the court who is a good official! ”

Chen Ziang's face became solemn when he heard this, and he suddenly grew serious, and admonished: "Cui... Uh, Chen is older than you, and you and I have been working together for a period of time in Qingyuan County, and we have gotten along very happily, so Chen Moutuo called you a good brother. Brother Cui Xian, this Lord Guo, I can guess one or two, he is definitely not the kind of official with no background and no identity, otherwise the new position of the head of Zhichong Mansion will not be his turn. You haven't been in Chang'an officialdom, you don't know the sinister career, and you can't understand the ups and downs of the Huan Sea. Perhaps, the reason why the imperial court suddenly added a new Zhichong Mansion here may be due to this Guo Duwei! ”

"Huh?"

Cui Geng was taken aback, and suddenly remembered Shen Tuo's praise for Guo Ke before, and Song Lian's accommodation to Guo Ke not long ago, all of which contained all kinds of intriguing information.

When he heard Chen Ziang say that the reason why the imperial court was adding a new Zhichong Mansion might be due to Guo Ke, he couldn't help but boldly guess in his heart, could it be that some people had such a sudden move in order to train Guo Ke?

If it is true, then the background behind Guo Ke is powerful, and the real identity is also complex and mysterious.

Surname Guo?

That shouldn't be the prince and grandson, so who will he be?

"Ahem...... Brother Cui Xian, don't think about it, anyway, since you have already been arranged to enter the Zhichong Mansion, you have to work hard, don't waste this opportunity! ”

Chen Ziang patted Cui Geng's shoulder, and said: "Listen to my brother's admonition, don't underestimate others, and don't look down on yourself." This is officialdom, and it's very complicated. ”

Don't underestimate others, don't think highly of yourself?

Chen Ziang's idea is a bit of a mean-spirited taste. However, he wondered, Chen Ziang really has such a middle-of-the-road officialdom survival criterion, and will he be so arrogant that he offends people and is demoted from Chang'an?

Sure enough, Chen Ziang smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said, "I can only talk about others, how can I do it myself?" ”

Seeing this, Cui Geng knew that someone Chen remembered the sad things in Chang'an again.

Then he was ready to comfort him with two words, and suddenly—

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a sergeant entered.

It was the captain of fire who had led the way to the tent at the checkpoint.

I saw that the fire chief clenched his fists and arched his hand and said: "Lord Cui, my captain wants to see you, and I have come to ask my lord to move out of the tent!" ”

Guo Ke wants to see himself?

Grandma's, this kid doesn't want to be addicted to a fold in front of Lao Tzu before he opens the mansion, right?
